Burn Notice: "Breaking and Entering" 7/10 - Grading & Discussion
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
I love Burn Notice! I'm SO looking forward to this. 
Oh, I didn't realise Burn Notice would start again today, makes my very happy. 
The first season was excellent, can't say if they are able to keep up the pace in the second season.
The concept sounds rather cheesy, but it's a fun and smart tv-show imo. A ex-secret service agent, somewhat a mixture between McGyver and James Bond, who tries to redeem his damaged reputation and find the people responsible for that; and meanwhile helps people in need with certain problems, like a PI or freelance Rambo, but always in style and gentleman-like.
I loved the first season. Won't be home to watch this tonight, but will definitely catch up with it tomorrow.
I can't wait. I just caught up on this show and I loved it. Can't wait to see the premiere tonight.
Bruce Campbell has been with the show since the first episode.
I give it an above-average. Good character stuff and a nice plot, but didn't have as much "bang" (no pun intended) for your buck as last season's finale.
But I eagerly look forward to more!

I'm a bit disappointed that nothing changed, that the show simply went back to Miami and basically continued exactly like season one. I expected something a little different.
"That still doesn't explain why you didn't write!" 
Having a boss who jovially threatens to kill you is different. Will it work in the long run? Only if in the end Michael really figures out why he wants to be a "spy." The bizarroworld premise is that a covert ops guy is actually a decent human being who will do good things for people. Real spying is about finding out information, not beating people up etc. When Michael finally finds out what it's all about, and gets to go back to "spying," the disjunction between sanity and the show's premise will be impossible to avoid.
In the short run, resetting Fiona/Michael back to zero is kind of arbitrary. And for once, Michael looks kinda stupid.

Well, it is a little different. In Season 1, Michael was working for himself, taking whatever "missions" he wished. Now, Michael is working for someone else who will force him to do whatever they wish.
I almost did not recognize Tricia Helfer. She looked so different than she does in BSG.
While the episode was not as intense as the season 1 finale, it had the same great character chemistry, humor, and action that we got in season 1. Burn Notice seems to be one of those shows where the writing is very consistent. There have not been any real stinkers yet.
This was good, I felt it had all the quality of the first season.
His English accent is bloody appalling though, after a few minutes of that I was dieing for him to stop. It was like a cross between a London accent, a Yorkshire accent and an Australian accent, it kept drifting from one to the other.

I thought it was Australian (usually 'mate' = Aussie in US shows), did they state he was specifically supposed to be English?
